Nuggets just that good
No other team in the playoffs goes up 3-0 against the lakers like this.
Lakers kind of embarrassing.
so basically a gutless soft team until they decide to get mad throw some chairs in the locker room and take charge.
Lakers kind of embarrassing.It'll be interesting to see if Lebron picks up his option. No reason to think the Lakers are going to be better than a play-in team next season. Is he satisfied to play his last season or two out on a mediocre Lakers team or does he go somewhere he might compete for a championship?
Funny how whoever was calling the game said it should be a flagrant 1. It was a cheap play but no one is going to get thrown out over it especially in a playoff game. Anunoby should had been called for lowering his shoulder into Embiid at the start of the play.Don't know what play you are referring to. I was mostly half watching the draft while doing some work.You're the same old broken record playing the same lame song. Embiid shot 6 of those FTAs in the last 1:10 left when the Knicks were fouling while trying to create steals to catchup. Another 3 FTAs came on a 3-point shot. However, it would be fitting for the Sixers to get some favorable home whistles considering the blown ref calls/no-calls in the last 2 minutes of game 2 cost them that game.Embiid finished with 50pts on 13-19 FGA 19-21 FTA.
Amazing efficiency.
That's crazy to have more free throw attempts than field goal attempts when you nearly have 20 field goal attempts. Got that favorable home whistle, eh?
To be fair Embid should have been ejected. That was not even close to a basketball play
He grabbed Mitchell from the ground by his legs and was incorrectly assessed a flagrant 1. Even as a big fan of his I would be disappointed if you watched the replay and didn’t agree.

Robinson left the game in a walking boot apparently.
"In that situation, the crew gets together, we go and review the foul. In this instance, the crew was unanimous along with the replay center official in Secaucus that this foul was unnecessary but did not rise to the level of a flagrant 2," Zarba said. "The unnecessary contact rose to the level of a flagrant 1 but we were unanimous that this did not rise to the level of excessive contact, unnecessary and excessive, which would have been a flagrant 2 ejection. That's why we kept it a flagrant 1."
That would be the 3-pointer where Thibodeau wanted to challenge but was told not to do so by his coaches reviewing the video.You're the same old broken record playing the same lame song.

Struck a chord, eh?
Yes, that's a ton of free throw shots for a well-known free throw merchant. I'll grant you the six at the end, but that's still 15 free throw attempts, including that non-sensical three point "foul" that Hartenstein didn't even move on. That's a ton for the playoffs when things tighten up with the whistle, especially this year with the midseason shift.
